RESUMO
Objective:To observe the application value of dizocine sedation in brachial plexus nerve block.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2018, 80 patients with brachial plexus block anesthesia in the Second People's Hospital of Tongxiang were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group.The control group was not given sedation intervention, while the observation group was given dizocine sedation.The heart rate, mean arterial pressure, blood oxygen saturation and Ramsay scores at different time points were compared between the two groups.The anesthetic effect of the two groups was analyzed.Results:The onset time of sensory block in the observation group[(8.86±0.92)min] was significantly shorter than that in the control group[(11.43±1.08)min]( t=11.457, P<0.05). The duration of sensory block[(729.95±54.43)min] and the duration of analgesia[(879.96±165.52)min] in the observation group were significantly longer than those in the control group[(600.73±49.86)min, (750.27±261.19)min]( t=11.072, 2.653, all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the mean arterial pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation at each time point between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05). The mean arterial pressure and heart rate of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group at 15 min, 30 min after operation and at the end of operation (all P<0.05). The Ramsay score between the two groups had no statistically significant difference before operation ( P>0.05). At 15 min, 30 min after operation and at the end of surgery, the Ramsay scores of the observation group were (4.08±0.54)points, (4.15±0.37)points, (2.96±0.19)points, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group [(1.79±0.27)points, (1.77±0.16)points, (1.93±0.14)points], the differences were statistically significant ( t=23.989, 37.341, 27.602, all P<0.05). Conclusion:After dizocine sedation is used in brachial plexus block patients, the vital signs fluctuate slightly and the sedation effect is obvious.
RESUMO
Objective To understand the prevalence of Salmonella and the characteristics of drug resistance genes in General Hospital of People's Liberation Army, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of Salmonella infection. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to collect 78 clinical isolates of Salmonella from 2015 to 2017. The age of the patients was 49 ± 21 years old. The infected patients were mainly young and middle-aged. The clinical samples mainly came from feces and venous blood, accounting for 44.87%(35/78) and 33.33%(26/78), respectively. After serotype identification, drug sensitivity test and whole genome sequencing, multilocus sequence typing and drug resistance genotyping were performed. Cluster of Cefotaxime or Ciprofloxacin resistant Salmonella was analyzed. Results Salmonella group D (53.85%) and Salmonella group C (21.79%) were dominant Salmonella serotype. ST11 was mainly ST type. Drug sensitivity test showed that the multidrug resistance rate of Salmonella was 64.11% (50/78). The sensitivity to all antimicrobial agents' rate was 25.64 (20/78). The resistance rate of Salmonella to nalidixic acid was 65.38%(51/78). The most common drug resistance gene of Salmonella was extended-spectrum β-lactam drug resistance gene, accounting for 78.21% (61/78). Conclusions The ST-type and carrying resistance genes of Salmonella in this hospital were diverse. Most pathogens were multi-drug resistant to antimicrobial agents. Molecular typing and drug resistance gene analysis of Salmonella and construction of resistant strains to determine the inheritance of Salmonella relationships have a certain clinical significance.
RESUMO
To dynamically investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteremia pathogens isolated from different regions in China in 2011, 2013 and 2016. Non-repetitive isolates from nosocomial bloodstream infections were retrospectively collected and detected for antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) by agar dilution or microbroth dilution methods. Whonet 5.6 was used to analyze the AST data. Among 2 248 isolates, 1 657 (73.7%) were Gram-negative bacilli and 591 (26.3%) were Gram-positive cocci. The top five bacteremia pathogens were as follows, Escherichia coli (32.6%, 733/2 248), Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.5%, 327/2 248), Staphylococcus aureus (10.0%, 225/2 248), Acinetobacter baumannii (8.7%, 196/2 248) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6.2%, 140/2 248). Colistin (96.5%, 1 525/1 581, excluding innate resistant organisms), tigecycline (95.6%, 1 375/1 438, excluding innate resistant organisms), ceftazidine/clavulanate acid (89.2%, 1 112 /1 246), amikacin (86.4%, 1 382/1 599) and meropenem (85.7%, 1 376/1 605) showed relatively high susceptibility against Gram-negative bacilli. While tigecycline, teicoplanin and daptomycin (the susceptibility rates were 100.0%), vancomycin and linezolid (the susceptibility rates were 99.7%) demonstrated high susceptibility against Gram-positive cocci. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Enterobacteriaceae were 50.6% (206/407), 49.8% (136/273) and 38.9% (167/429) in 2011, 2013 and 2016 respectively; carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae were 2.2% (9/408), 4.0% (16/402) and 3.9% (17/439) in 2011, 2013 and 2016 respectively; The prevalence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii (MDRA) was 76.4% (55/72) in 2011, 82.7% (43/52) in 2013 and 87.5% (63/72) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRP) was 9.8% (5/51) in 2011, 20.0% (7/35) in 2013 and 13.0% (7/54) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was 51.9% (41/79) in 2011, 29.7% (19/64) in 2013 and 31.7% (26/82) in 2016, respectively. The prevalence of high level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 43.2% (48/111) and 40.9% (27/66), respectively. The predominant organism of carbapenem-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae was K. pneumoniae with its proportion of 57.1% (24/42). Among 30 tigecycline-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae, K. pneumoniae was the most popular organism with 76.7% (23/30). Among 39 colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, Enterobacter cloacae and K. pneumoniae were constituted with the percent of 43.6 (17/39), 35.9 (14/39) and 15.4 (6/39), respectively. The Gram-negative bacilli (E. coli and K. pneumoniae were the major organisms) were the major pathogens of nosocomial bacteremia, to which tigecycline, colistin and carbapenems kept with highly in vitro susceptibility. Whereas, among the Gram-positive cocci, S. aureus was the top 1 isolated organism, followed by E. faecium, to which tigecycline, daptomycin, linezolid, vancomycin and teicoplanin kept with highly in vitro susceptibility. Isolation of colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, tigecycline-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae, linezolid- or vancomycin-non-susceptible Gram-positive cocci suggests more attention should be paid to these resistant organisms and dynamic surveillance was essential.

Methods Non-duplicated nosocomial cases as well as pathogens causing bloodstream infections ( BSI) , hospital-acquired pneumonia ( HAP) and intra-abdominal infections ( IAI ) from 12 teaching hospitals across China were collected. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of important clinical common strains were determined by agar dilution method or broth microdilution method. The CLSI M100-S27 criteria was used for interpretation. Data were analyzed by using WHONET-5. 6 software. Results A total of 2060 cases were collected, including 894 cases from BSI, 630 cases from HAP and 536 cases from IAI. The MICs of 1896 important clinical common strains were determined. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most prevalent pathogens causing BSI and IAI, while Acinetobacter baumanii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were dominated in HAP. All Staphylococcus aureus were susceptible to tigecycline, linezolid, daptomycin and glycopeptides. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus accounted for 44. 4% ( 75/169 ) of all the S. aureus. The rate of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci was 80. 9% ( 72/89 ) . No Enterococcus strains were found resistant to tigecycline, linezolid or daptomycin. Vacomycin resistant enterococcus was found in Enterococcus faecium, accounting for 1. 8% ( 2/111 ) of all E. faecium strains. Tigecycline, meropenem, amikacin, imipenem, and polymyxin B exhibited high potency against Enterobacteriaceae and the susceptibility rates were 96. 6%(865/895), 94. 3% (859/911), 94. 2% (858/911), 94. 1% (857/911), and 91. 6% (820/895), respectively. The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase was 58. 4% ( 263/450 ) in E. coli and 28. 6% ( 84/294 ) in K. pneumonia. The rate of carbapenem resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 15. 3% ( 45/294 ) and 1. 8% ( 8/450 ) , respectively. The percentage of polymyxin B resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 4. 1% ( 12/294 ) and 4. 4% ( 20/450 ) , respectively. The rate of tigecycline resistant K. pneumonia and E. coli was 2. 4% ( 7/294 ) and 0. 2% ( 1/450 ) , respectively. A. baumanii showed low susceptibility to the antimicrobial agents except tigecycline ( 91. 4%, 235/257 ) and polymyxin B (100%, 257/257). The rate of carbapenem resistant A. baumanii was 80. 5% (207/257). The rate of carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa was 31. 7% ( 59/186 ) . Polymyxin B and amikacin demonstrated high antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa with susceptility rate of 100% ( 186/186 ) and 90. 9% ( 169/186), respectively. Conclusions Nosocomial pathogens showed high susceptibilities against tigecycline and polymyxin B. Antimicrobial resistance in A. baumannii is a serious problem. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and polymyxin B resistant Enterobacteriaceae has increased, which should be monitored continuously in China.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) strains from clinical samples.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Plaque samples from caries-active and caries-free sites on enamel surfaces were obtained and cultivated for S. mutans isolation. Morphology, biochemistry, automatic microorganism analysis system and polymerase chain reaction using primers homologous to surface protein antigen I/II (spaP), glucosyltransferase B (gtfB) and dextranase (dexA) were used to identify S. mutans. Genotype of isolated S. mutans was determined by arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Forty-six strains of S. mutans were obtained from the 32 subjects and were identified as S. mutans by biochemistry, automatic microorganism analysis system and polymerase chain reaction. Five identical genotypes were found by arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Forty-one strains of S. mutans with different genotype were obtained from clinical samples.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To select and identify ssDNA aptamers specific to Streptococcus mutans strains with different cariogenicity isolated from clinical specimens.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Subtractive SELEX technology targeting the whole intact cells was used to screen for ssDNA aptamers specific to the clinical isolates Streptococcus mutans strains with different cariogenicity. Radioactive isotope, flow cytometry, gene cloning and sequencing, MEME online software and RNA structure analysis software were employed to analyze the first and secondary structures of the aptamers and identify the screened aptamers.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Detection by radioactive isotope showed sufficient pool enrichment after 9 rounds of subtractive SELEX. Flow cytometry showed that the selected aptamers H1, H16, H4, L1, L10 and H19 were capable of binding specifically with highly cariogenic Streptococcus mutans strains but not with strains with a low cariogenicity. The aptamer H19 had the strongest binding capacity to highly cariogenic Streptococcus mutans strains, with a dissociation constant of 69.45∓38.53 nmol/L.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>We have obtained the ssDNA aptamers specific to the clinical isolates of highly cariogenic Streptococcus mutans strains.</p>
